Southern California Public Power Authority Signs PPA

Southern California Public Power Authority signed a 20-year power purchase agreement (PPA) for a portion of the Bonanza Solar and Storage project.

The agreement was signed with EDF Renewables North America, a renewable developer in North America.

The carbon-free electricity generated by the 125-MWac solar photovoltaic (PV) system and 65-MW four-hour battery energy storage system (BESS) is guaranteed to begin delivery to SCPPA’s participating members, Pasadena Water & Power and Azusa Light & Water, by December 31, 2028. 

The Bonanza Solar and Storage project, which is located in Clark County, Nevada, will have a total capacity of 300-MWac solar PV along with a 195-MW four-hour BESS.

Located on federal land in the southern Nevada desert, the project is collaborating closely with federal and state agencies to minimize project impacts.

“Bonanza adds to SCPPA’s current portfolio of renewable energy projects, bringing the total to over 3,000 MWs that will be supplied through SCPPA to Southern California Public Power Utilities to support their transition to a carbon-free energy future,” said Michael Webster, SCPPA’s Executive Director, in a statement.
